Looks like Le’Veon Bell is doing the most being away from his team, of course, it’s on Social media.
Maurkice Pouncey, who predicted Bell would show up on Wednesday, is tired of waiting for the three-time Pro Bowler.
“Honestly it’s a little selfish,” Pouncey said, per Tim Benz of the Tribune-Review. “I’m kinda pissed right now. It sucks that he’s not here. we’ll move on as a team. It doesn’t look like he’ll be in the game plan at this point. Conner looks great. We’ll worry about him in Week 2.”
Pouncey would also prefer that Bell tell everyone when he intends to show up, instead of having his agent talk to the media.
“Why play hide and seek? Why let your agent say this? Just man up and tell us what you’re going to do,” he said, per NFL Network’s Aditi Kinkhabwala.
The Pittsburgh Steelers star running back responded to his teammates comments on IG. Check them out below:
Bell loses an $853,000 check for one week’s work, or 1/17th of the $14.5 million tender he has yet to sign. The Steelers keep that cash and salary-cap space.
And Bell gets one week closer to free agency, which is his ultimate goal here. Let’s see how this plays out.
